The Secrecy Comparison of RF and FSO Eavesdropping Attacks in Mixed RF-FSO Relay Networks

In this paper, we study the secrecy performance of mixed radio-frequency (RF) - free space optical (FSO) systems by considering both RF and FSO eavesdropper attacks. More precisely, we shed light into the design of secure mixed RF-FSO relay networks by questioning two critical design problems: 1) Wh...
